Anyone have the long trail Ramble? Looking forward to trying that as well as Allagashs new year round saison which  was just bottled yesterday

[Donoghus]

in western mass we have this great small brewery tree house that is making some fine beers!  I believe 2 of theirs were just named to some list? julius (ipa) and another BUT I just had the percolator stout last week, great beer!

What town is it out of?

Good a time as any to resurrect the beer thread. 

Recently had a few pints of this:



Lagunitas Night Time.  It is really, really good.  Probably the best Black IPA I've ever had.  Smooth and well-balanced with some nice hop flavor in there.  It's a seasonal that's probably off most shelves by now, but I can't recommend it enough.

The last Lagunitas I had was this one, and it made me wonder if there isn't a Lagunitas out there that I don't like. Perhaps I need to push the envelope a bit.

P.S. Have yet to try it, but Lagunitas also makes something called "Day Time," a session beer they bill as a "fractional IPA."

I had their 18 beer Around the World sampler at the brewpub a few years back, and I can confirm there are a few I don't like.  Mostly the barleywines.

Haven't tried the Day Time though.

For me, barleywine is the undiscovered country. I generally don't like highly malted beers (they usually strike me as almost sickly sweet), so I'm reluctant to spend the dough on a bomber unless I have a really good sense of what I'm getting into.

That said, I did recently try Flat Tail's Seriously Low Budget Barleywine (because it was priced as such), and liked it. Probably because it was still pretty hop-forward.

St. Bernardus Abt 12

Lagunitas' Little Sumpin' Extra.

I ordered a pint of this, tasted it, and exclaimed, "Holy crap, this is a great beer."

It is. It really is. Drink it.

Can't wait to try Sumpin extra.

Tried Sierra Nevada's Torpedo IPA, their quasi DIPA, it's a little under hopped, a little too sweet.

Remember how effusive I was about Cafe Racer 15?

I'm the same way about this one. It's a big beer, but it's not a hop bomb in the way you think of most doubles. I mean, it is big and hoppy, but it doesn't smack you in the mouth. It's a big, long, soft kiss of a beer. Like a king-size feather duvet. Or a howitzer with a silencer.

I don't like Torpedo either.  Weird since I love the Pale Ale and it's highly rated most places.  It's just kinda cloying.

...that moment when you remember you left a bottle with your brother last month and can't get it in your state.
